android - Install home screen widgets progrommaticly

Question

I have main activity window in my app, which displays three icons?on it, also there are 3 home screen widgets in this application.

is there a possibility for long press on one of the icons in the main activity, to do the same behavior as when you install the program shortcuts from the application menu when dragging shortcuts on the desktop?(for example this video:?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ37cASti4k) or the user to have to go to home screen menu add widget??

Answer 1

The user will have to manually install the app widget. Since widgets need to be positioned -- and so users do not have app widgets forced upon them -- users must choose to add it to their home screen.
